Summary: Installing PowerShell Cmdlets

Initial Comment:

Microsoft has seen fit to not document how to install PowerShell cmdlets 
outside of InstallUtils.exe.  This leaves MSI developers an interesting 
conundrum of how to install them.  You either, a. do what's document and create 
various custom actions to call the InstallUtil.exe 
Install/Uninstall/Commit/Rollback actions -or- b. you use reflector and/or Dark 
to find out the install class just adds some registry keys.  

Either approach is still cumbersome for the WiX developer   so it be nice if 
Wix supported being able to PowerShell snapin via the WiX schema e.g. 
<File ...>
   <PowerShellSnapIn ...>
</File>

It be really cool if WiX supported adding the snapin to either the system or 
user "profile" (which is needed to avoid added a shortcut with .psc1 file or 
forces users to type add-pssnapin <snapin_name>).
